Pros

I look back at my position at Parexel and wonder why I liked working there so much, and I realize it was only my co-workers that were positives, and I was fortunate to have had my last 3 managers to be outstanding people who really want to help, and I felt as though they 'had my back'

Cons

High expectations from some of the management team to go 'above and beyond', not realizing that most everyone already was. Understaffed on some of the key applications, without thought of the burden they are placing on the people who are already working on those apps. seems to be practicing job elimination in the US, and then hiring in India to fill the same position with a different title, of course.

Pros

Able to work from home. Minimal travel. Nice people.

Cons

Disorganized. Severe lack of onboarding. Over-allocated. I was told I would get 2 to 3 studies at any given time....I got 5. Company is in transition at the moment...lack of resources everywhere.
